News broke late last week that news outlets/clickbait mills BuzzFeed and HuffPost were laying off a large number of staffers. Being pink slipped is a very unpleasant experience, but journalists at liberal outlets seldom hesitate to try to get others fired (or worse) for politically incorrect transgressions that often turn out to be fake news. Admittedly, it’s tough times generally for digital publishers, with lesser-known online media outlets struggling to generate traffic and revenue as well. Moreover, the highly publicized round of job reductions at the aforementioned two online media companies was preceded by tweaks to censorship-loving Big Tech’s algorithms that undermined the market share of several conservative-leaning websites.

Even many liberals are admitting that a rush to judgment occurred in the massive condemnation of the MAGA-hat-wearing Covington Catholic High School students after a video went viral on social media. With additional footage of the incident that doesn’t fit the initial narrative, it turns out that Covington teens may have been bullied rather than being bullies at the pro-life event, rendering it yet another example of anti-Trump fake news. Certainly in the aftermath of this incident, moreover, the students been on the receiving end of all kinds of threats. The “opposition party” mainstream media seldom takes any interest in Trump supporters who are harassed, threatened, doxed, or physically assaulted, however. The Kentucky high school itself had to shut down today for safety reasons.
Shortly before takeoff, President Donald Trump today told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (plus a delegation of Democrat lawmakers) to fly commercial rather than on a U.S. Air Force jet if she wants to go on a “public relations event” overseas.
During a SiriusXM interview, CNN analyst Areva Martin accused radio host David Webb of benefiting from white privilege.
David Webb, who also works for Fox News, is a black man.
As expected, Theresa May has failed to gain U.K. parliamentary approval for the Brexit withdrawal agreement. The vote against the plan, which Leave advocates characterized as Brexit in Name Only, was rejected overwhelmingly in the House of Commons. The margin is being described as the worst parliamentary defeat ever for a U.K. administration.
Even occasionally surfing over to The Five on the Fox News Channel at 5 p.m. Eastern time confirms that the political ensemble program is probably no longer worth watching. Here’s why.
News broke on Friday night that NBC News and Megyn Kelly have officially parted ways, with the erstwhile Today show host reportedly exiting with the balance owed on her three-year contact, totaling about $30 million. Without providing any details, NBC said in a statement that “The parties have resolved their differences, and Megyn Kelly is no longer an employee of NBC.” The network took Kelly off the air in late October after the host’s controversial Halloween blackface comments (despite her two apologies). Her lawyer and the network were negotiating the severance package ever since. The agreement reportedly contains a confidentiality clause.
Social media responds to the Democrat hypocrisy on border security:
Whether it’s because of his outsized, boastful salesman personality, the hair, or the spray tan, the doomsday-is-nigh mainstream media has conducted an obsessive, irrational vendetta against U.S. President Donald Trump. The media treats developments in the news cycle like the end of the world, and doomsday is at hand. Then it’s on to the next controversy du jour. Let’s stipulate the president can sometimes be his own worst enemy by stepping on and/or obscuring his message and accomplishments with needless feuds and overly combative or imprecise rhetoric. Whether you like his demeanor or not, however, the Trump’s MAGA agenda — in fulfillment of campaign promises perhaps like no other president — is all about making America stronger, safer, and more prosperous.
